Shot: Hey all. I love summer vacation so much time to write. But, oh so bored. Newsies, Sgt. Bilko, and many other movies to keep me sane and my laptop to write my stories on. Enjoy this chapter. Thanks to all my reviewers. So on to chapter 3 of Newsies in College. Oh look slashy goodness in this chapter.

The three cars cruised down the parkway. Mush's van swerving now and then. Jack yelled from the back, backseat, "Cut it out, Mush. Or I'll turn you into mush."

Mush laughed, almost drunkenly, "Sorry, Cowboy," he swerved again.

Smartass glared from her front seat, "Ya drunk or something."

Mush shrugged, "Something wrong with having a little fun."

Smartass replied, "Nah, today's a beautiful day to die."

Tiger laughed from her seat next to Jack, "Well, we can definitely see where you get your nickname from."

Jack fidgeted, "Can I ask you girls a question?"

Artemis nodded from her backseat behind Mush, "What, Jack?"

Jack sighed, "Do you think Siren likes me?"

Smartass, in fake seriousness, replied, "Nah, not at all, she just hangs off your neck all the time. Don't ya know that's the international sign for I hate you and want you to die."

Jack laughed, "Ok, ok. I'll ask her out when we get to the mall. That'll make this thing that we have going official."

(In Siren's car)

Race and Sureshot sat in the backseat making out. Siren asked suddenly, "Do you guys think Cowboy will ever ask me out?"

Tomboy shoved Race and Sureshot away from her and shrugged, "Why don't you just ask him out?"

Dodger laughed, "Tomboy, Siren can't do that. She's too much of a girl to ever have the balls to ask a guy out."

Siren gasped, "What? I am not."

Sureshot pulled away from Race, "Yeah, ya are."

Race pulled her back, "They're right Siren."

Siren pursed her lips, "Fine, just to prove you guys wrong, when we get to the mall, I'll ask Jack out and make our relationship official."

(In Skittery's Pick-up truck)

Skittery and Snitch sat in the front seat talking. Everyone else sat in the bed of the truck. Bumlets, Spot and Blink sat on the left, while Dreamer, Nymph, and Shadow sat on the right side. Skittery yelled through the little window to the people in the bed, "You guys ok back there?"

Spot immediately yelled back, "Just peachy."

Nymph glared at him, "Did you have to answer for everyone like that? You know we can talk for ourselves."

Spot lowered his gaze. He didn't want to get into another argument with this girl. He remembered two days after he was cast as the Beast in the play, he found Nymph outside the drama room. He started a conversation with her about acting together, which ended in a screaming match that she won. He thought this girl was really intelligent and a great actress but they had nothing in common. Spot shook his head to clear his thought. He looked at the others in the bed of the truck. Shadow and Blink were talking quietly like no one else was around. Bumlets and Dreamer both seemed to be in their own little world. Spot looked back over toward Nymph. She had pulled out a blue binder with "Beauty and Beast" written in purple ink. She was quietly singing her first solo song to herself. Spot just stared at her.

Nymph got the feeling that someone was watching her. She lifted her eyes from the page to see Spot staring at her. She sighed and said, "Stop looking at me swan."

Blink looked over at the pair and said, "Quick name the movie."

Shadow whisper, "Billy Madison."

Blink looked back at Shadow, "You like Adam Sandler movies."

Shadow nodded, "I love Adam Sandler movies."

That started a whole new conversation for those two. Spot rolled his eyes at the two, he thought to himself, "Those two should just start dating. I mean since they've met they've only talked to each other, only joining in the conversation when it helps further their own conversation."

Spot looked back at Nymph, who had gone back to her binder. He sighed, thanked G*D for not turning that into another argument, and practically whispered to himself, "Well, that was relatively painless."

Dreamer heard him and lifted her head. She smiled and said, "I know that movie. It's one of my favorites."

Bumlets snapped out of his daydream and asked, "What movie?"

Nymph scoffed and rolled her eyes, "That's not from a movie. He was just making a comment cause for once we didn't get into an argument."

Spot muttered, "Shows how little you know. That line is from a movie. Analyze This. Ever heard of it."

Nymph shook her head, "Actually no. Never have."

Spot smirked, "Looks like Little Miss Know It All, doesn't know something."

Nymph sighed angrily, "Fine Mr. Bigshot. Name this movie if you're so good. You like pain, try wearing a corset."

Spot shrugged, "A Knight's Tale?"

Nymph laughed, "No. It's from a new movie. I've already seen it three times."

Spot ran a hand through his hair, "Ummm, LXG?"

Nymph shook her head, "What is LXG? And no it's not from that."

Spot scoffed, "LXG is short for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. One of this summer's blockbusters."

Nymph raised her hand, "Whatever. No more guesses from you. The movie is Pirates of the Caribbean."

Spot licked his lips, "Oh, I haven't seen it yet. Here try this one. A hepcat can't be broken."

Nymph laughed, "Try speaking English, and I'll tell you the line. I mean, come on, what's a hepcat?"

Spot stared and finally shook his head, "You don't know what a hepcat is."

Nymph shook her head, "No, I don't, so tell me."

Spot nodded, "Fine. A hepcat is someone whose hip and can collar that jive. You know the opposite of an icky. It means someone who's cool. Now, what's the line from?"

Nymph pushed her hair behind her ears and said, "Don't you think that if I knew what a hepcat was then I would know the line and if I didn't know what a hepcat was then I wouldn't know the line?"

Spot sighed, "Fine the movie is Swing Kids"

Nymph rubbed her eyes and smiled, "I got one that will really throw you off. The line is, You know before when you said you don't like me? Well, I hate your guts!"

Spot nodded, "My all time favorite anime, .Hack//Sign"

Nymph started to say something and then stuttered out, "W w wait you know .Hack//Sign?"

Spot nodded again, "Yeah, I have the first three DVD's of it. That line Mimiru said it to Tsukasa"

Nymph just nodded speechlessly. She shook her head and went back to her binder. Spot just furrowed his eyebrows. He couldn't believe that he had actually rendered Nymph silent. He pulled a small notebook out of his pocket and started writing in it about what had happened.

(Inside the car)

Skittery closed the small window to block out the argument.  He sighed and turned the radio up higher.  Snitch reached over and turned it back down.  He asked, "What's wrong, man?  Don't you like your new school and roommates?"

Skittery stole a glance at Snitch and said, "I do, it's just, now everyone knows I'm gay.  I mean at my other school, the second my friends found out, basically they didn't want to be friends anymore.  They were all scared that I was gonna hit on them or something."

Snitch shook his head, "Don't worry about it dude.  These guys are cool. I mean I'm gay and they don't care.  I mean Bumlets even tried to set me up with his gay cousin Ronnie.  They definitely don't care about these things."

Skittery sighed, "You mean it?"

Snitch laid his hand on Skittery's, which was laying on the shift.  Snitch spoke calmly, "Of course I mean it.  I wouldn't lie to you."

Skittery stopped at a red light and turned towards Snitch.  He took a deep breath and leaned over to Snitch and crushed their lips together.  Skittery quickly pulled away and grew red, "I'm so sorry.  I shouldn't have done that."

Snitch laid his hand over his mouth, "Shut up and do that again, Skittery."

Skittery grinned and leaned back over and kissed Snitch hard.  A loud honking next to them made them pull apart.  Skittery looked over and saw Siren's car sitting next to them.  Tomboy and Dodger were leaning out their windows to get a better view.  Skittery heard Shot say to Race, "You own me five bucks boyo.  I told ya they would be together before we got to the mall."

Race reached into his pocket and handed five dollars to Sureshot.  He leaned towards the window and yelled, "You guys couldn't wait another couple of miles for us to reach the mall could ya?"

Skittery and Snitch started laughing at Race along with everyone else.  Both were still as red as the light they were sitting at.  They saw it change and quickly speed off faster then their friends.  They reached the mall parking lot and quickly got out heading towards the entrance before anyone could ask them anything.  Snitch reached over and grabbed Skittery's hand.  He said, "I guess we're together now.  How about a real date tomorrow night to make them happy?"

Skittery just nodded mutely, still unsure of what happened.

The two other cars arrived and the gang piled out and ran after the two new budding lovebirds.

Jack grabbed Siren's arm and held her back.  As soon as the rest were far enough away that he wouldn't be heard he said quietly, "Siren, I really like you.  I mean a lot.  Would you, maybe, consider being my girlfriend?"

Siren pulled her arm out of his grasp and said, "Well, I don't know Cowboy.  Let me think about it."

She started to walk towards everyone else.  She spoke quickly, "I've thought about it and."

She turned and took a running leap into his arms, "The answer, of course, is yes."

Jack kissed her passionately, ignoring the catcalls from their friends.  Jack releases her from the kiss and the two started walking to catch up with the others.

Shot: Ending of this chapter.  Ah love.  Two more couples are together now.  I would just like to say to the girls in this story that don't have a boyfriend yet.  You know like Tomboy, who isn't paired with someone now and will be hooking up later.  I am adding a few more guys.  If you would like to pair up with one of them later on in the story, let me know through your review or through e-mail.  The new guys are Deck, Redneck, Poet, Outrage, Star, and Blue.  They will be introduced in probably the next chapter.  That's all from me. Bye now.
